Текст песни Angel Dust - Gil Scott-Heron

The secretary of entertainment is going to introduce you to
The melody because we'd like to have you join in
And help us sing a song called Angel Dust
S'pose you dd, ha!

Brothers and sisters and friends, what you have just experienced
Is called revival sphere
It's got a lovely voice

Angel dust
Come on sing with us the second time
We get the tune, we want y'all to come in
One, two, one, two
Angel dust
Come on everybody, sing with us now
Ay, it's angel dust...

Y'all in the back got to sing out here
(Angel dust)
One more time, everyone
(Angel dust)
Alright, we got it nearly done

'Cause he was groovin'
And that was when he coulda sworn
The room was movin'
Hey, but that was only in his mind
'Cause he was sailin'
He never really seemed to notice
Vision failin', hey
'Cause that was all part of the high

The sweat was pourin'
And he couldn't take it
The room was exploding
He might not make it, sing

Angel dust
Oh sing it right, I got to sing it
They said it was angel dust
Said don't need nobody, no good
Angel dust

But down some dead end streets
There ain't no turnin' back
Yeah, sometimes it comes sneakin' up on us
Angel dust

They were standin'
Well everybody in a circle
The whole family, yes
Listening to the preacher's words
Sis was cryin'
'Cause she alone knew the secrets
'Bout his dyin'
You see tears fallin' to earth

Maybe her fault
'Cause he was so trusting
And God only knew why
They was dustin', sing

Angel dust
Angels, alright, it's alright
Well somebody need to tell my sister about dust
It don't mean nobody, no good, no where
It's angel dust
It might seem like I just want more good time

But down some dead end streets
There ain't no turnin' back
To back, to back away
Away, away

I'm talkin' about the way, I mean
Send him away...
Hey there!

Hey, got to be there
I used to know, got to be there

I used to know, gotta be there, sing

Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
Somebody say down the way it's gon' be alright
Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
It's cool keep goin', keep goin', it's cool, everything gon' be alright
Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
Sisters, fathers, you don't worry, don't you worry everything gon' be alright
It gon' be alright, be alright, be alright, be alright
Heard somebody say that it gon' be alright
Everything gon' be alright, everything gon'

Everything gon', everything gon', everything he said
Hey, listen
I heard, he told me
Everything gonna be alright, everything
Everything gonna be alright, alright
Everything gonna be alright, alright

He was holdin' me down
Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
I was counting on you
You told me, got to be there
I used to know

'Cause he was groovin'
And that was when he coulda sworn
The room started movin'...
He was sayin', 'cause that was all part of the high

The sweat was pourin'
And he couldn't take it
The room was exploding
Might not make it, sing (angel dust)

Tuck you in and say, somebody said it's angel dust
It don't mean nobody no good (angel dust)
It might seem like I just want more good time

Down some dead end street, ain't no turning back
To back, to back, to back, away
Away
Angel dust
It might seem like I just want more good times
Down some dead end street, ain't no turning back

Robert Gordon, the secretary of entertainment
On the bass, Ron Halloway, tenor saxophone
And it's called, "Angel Dust"
Thank you
